Neither rain, nor thunderstorms will stop a Parade in Thailand

As you can tell from a previous post, there wasn't a cloud in the sky, yet at 2 p.m. the heavens opened with a tropical thunderstorm, which made everyone run for cover.

But that didn't stop a planned parade.  After a short thunderstorm delay, the parade proceeded.

The Parade honoring Visakha Bucha Day is scheduled for Friday 3:30 p.m. 

The starting point is near the Lotus store.  The parade will proceed to Wat Phra That Choeng Chum.
